Whedonesque Fail

Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail

If you've got your feminist bingo card ready, read the Hathor Legacy thread. You could fill the card several times over.

(I posted the Hathor and Rebecca Allen links, but never went back to the thread as it made me too angry. See the link for Girl Wonder, have a look and then Simon's pulling the same shit all over again. I'm sure that by tomorrow morning you'll be able to fill your racism bingo card as well).

ETA I pulled those quotes because they are either mods, or in the case of bix! people with a huge amount of credibility and respect at Whedonesque.

ETA 2 "Was there a discussion that the Cosby-Show had to few white characters?
Did anyone mention that the Sopranos had too many italians??"

ETA 3This post is now unlocked.

I have come here from your profile on Whedonesque and can I say thank you for your comments there and here. I shocked my husband the other day when I said I was done with Whedonesque after Simon's post in the Hathor Legacy post and the attitudes in general. Of course being a sad fan, I'm not easily weaned but after the GRC post I'm probably really off.

Your welcome. I'm glad my comments encouraged someone. It felt like I was fighting a losing battle over there.

But gosh, you were fighting it. It was really very encouraging.
